I wanted a desk that could hold 2 screens and not be overwhelmed, a desk that would be an asset in a mixed purpose room, and a desk with some storage. I got it all with tnis one. It was easy to assemble--I'm over 70 and did it myself--and it is just great looking. I am very pleased with this desk.

Love this desk. This desk was packed very well, all of the pieces were in perfect condition. Instructions were easy to follow, you will need a cordless drill with screwdriver tips. There were a few screws that I had to use the cordless drill to get them tight. I assembled the desk by myself in one and half hours. Wish I could find the chair that was pictured with the desk.

I like the desk. Putting it together took me four hours! This was not the first piece of furniture that I have assembled. Was concerned that one of the shelves was missing a little bit of the underside of a corner; however, it is not noticeable when assembled. Would rate this a 5, but the cost of my time to put it together brought the rating down. Still looking for a matching chair.

We bought two of these desks and put them together fairly quickly. Within a day, one of the drawers broke. Within a month, the other three drawers (total of two drawers per unit) broke. They look great but they were expensive for one month of life.

I purchased this desk online back in 10/2021. As you can see on the attached picture, the top peeled off. Can this be returned or desk top part be replaced?
It sounds like it is out of return time frame. You can try and see in the manufacturer will replace the top. If not another option is to buy a piece of wood and cut it to fit and stain it. That is what I plan on doing eventually so it is real wood.
